This is a permanent endowment fund established by the Japanese Cultural Association of Manitoba to sustain programs and activities that will benefit Canadians of Japanese ancestry living in Manitoba. The fund was established in appreciation of the Redress Settlement and those individuals who passed away before September 22, 1988 and were unable to share in the benefits of the Redress Settlement. Gifts to this fund are pooled and invested to benefit them in perpetuity. The income generated by this fund is distributed to the Japanese Cultural Association of Manitoba to be used at its discretion.
